Well, the thing is that it's not *exactly* 2.6.37, I guess some -mm kernels have the issue etc. > > > > > Install GRUB bootloader on MBR: Yes > > > > > > > > Depends on the mileage of the user. > > > > > > Err...

Both. Separate pages need to be kept up to date: a howto is not a good general documentation since it doesn't provide all the details, but can be still useful as an introduction, as antrik pointed out. > As you know I've made some changes to the GNU running/qemu page > (not yet published), and am about to add some stuff to the Debian > hurd-install file obtained from Samuel.
